Is it possible to transfer address book and texts from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6 by using iTunes? I ask this question because I do not want to risk the loss of data.

Many thanks

Backup your 4 to iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID on the 6 and all your iMessages, Contacts etc will be there.

After you've satisfied yourself that everything is on your 6, delete the backup to the 4 to save on cloud storage space which at 5GB is a bit miserly of Apple. HTH.

While iCloud SHOULD work it gives me more confidence to go via iTunes and backup and restore to a PC disk!

But only £0.79/month for 50Gb is better!
